Post pics of your builds.... - Page 270

About $150 for the basic parts. The case shown was manufactured for the recent group buy. For the group buy, they ran about $55 on average, but selling price outside of the group buy is TBD.

The Millett Hybrid, MAX, and now the MiniMAX have a great heritage of pairing with Grado's. They can really dish out the current to a low impedance phone. Plus, the tube sound is a perfect complement to the Grado's signature. I use the HF-1's with mine and they sound wonderful.

Thanks! Most of the credit goes to tomb for the cases though......

Cost can vary a fair bit depending on part selection. Not sure how much the cases will be when they go for general sale either...... my cases were bought as part of a group buy. Should sound great with Grados

The first 3 pics I've deliberately set the minimum aperture for maximum depth of field. The last, I just wanted the front panel text in focus

I have just finished my new AMB y1 DAC.

Nice build and sounds great. I'll case it up shortly.

Sorry that my photography skills are not quite as good as a few others here, but you get the idea.

Nice job you have a steady hand, put up pics when its cased.

by the way my camera is so simple it has a button labled PHD stands for

Push Here Dummy

I'm using my daughter's new camera. It's not great but it has the same same PHD button . I should probably say that the camera is still better than my photography skills.

Here it is all cased up.

Nice job with the SMDs.
The silver screws don't look bad at all, in fact they work pretty good with the silver and black theme on the panels.

Thanks. And of course thanks to you MisterX for the great project with AMB Labs.

The silver and black theme does work pretty well.

Holy crap, I'm not the only Canberran around here \o/

Nope. There are a few that come and go, but I'm here most of the time. I just don't post so much these days.

Very clean build, fordgtlover. If you run the edges of the panels against a sandpaper or flat file, you can clean up the small imperfections to make it look even nicer.

Thanks AMB.

I'll give the panels a bit of a tidy up.

Last picture of this - I promise.

Excellent, just like how it should look!

That is damn awesome fordgtlover, if only I had skills like that......

Might hone my SMD soldering up a mini3 before trying something like this though. Where did you get those frontpanels?

Thanks AMB. I was going to polish the edges, but I liked them just as they are. Although it doesn't show too well in the picture (crappy photographer), I finished the front faces of the cap screws to match the brushed finish.

Thanks nsx_23. A bit of practice and some patience pays off. DIY audio has certainly taught me patience. As for the panels, AMB has them available.
